Story of Meng Yi

Meng Yi (played by Jackie Chan) was a brave and loyal general serving the Qin emperor. He was sent to escort Princess Ok-Soo (Kim Hee-sun), from Korea back to the Qin capital city. Princess Ok Soo was sent to be the Qin Emperor's first concubine in order to save her homeland from being conquered.

Along the way from her homeland back to Qin territory, she was constantly in danger, and even kidnapped, but she was saved time and again by Meng Yi. Eventually, the two fell in love, however, they were unable to reveal their feelings because of their positions.

Later, the Qin Emperor fell sick and was on the verge of death, and Meng Yi, being loyal to the Emperor, volunteered to retrieve the immortal medicines. The guards escorting the medicine had been attacked in an ambush by rebels, so Meng Yi pursued with his troops and waged a fierce battle with the rebels. Eventually, Meng Yi managed to hand over the medicine to his deputy, Nangong Yan but was slained in battle.

Princess Ok-Soo declares that she will wait for Meng Yi and she does, for over two thousand years. The evil minister which was in league with the rebels had her try the medicine and it allowed her to live forever in the floating palace which the Qin Emperor had built.

Story of Jack

His travels take him to the tomb of a Dasar King, where he finds a sword related to his past life. Jack's pal, William (Tony Leung Ka Fai), causes some trouble in the tomb and Jack ends up being chased by the police. An Indian girl (Mallika) rescues him from the police and helps him escape back to his home.
